Big news out of the UK today, as the BBC announced that season 10 of Doctor Who will 1) not air until the spring of 2017 and 2) will mark the end of showrunner Steven Moffat’s run.  Moffat, who took over for Russell T. Davies in 2010, leaves as the most prolific writer of the new series.  The new showrunner, who will take over in 2018, is Chris Chibnall, an occasional Doctor Who writer who is currently wrapping up the final season of Broadchurch.

While nothing was mentioned in the release, one can only imagine that season 10 will also be the last for Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.  Capaldi had recently mentioned a desire to move on and Chibnall will likely be given the same blank slate that Moffat was given when he took over.
